“We’re not entirely certain who in Microgaming decided that a talent show featuring anthropomorphic animals was something people are interested in, but what the title lost in points in the theme, it won a whole lot more in gameplay.”

We’ll admit, we can often be a little bit harsh of some Microgaming titles. But really, that’s only because we care. The wide umbrella of studios beneath the giant all have their own little style, which usually works wonders, but sometimes simply doesn’t pan out properly. Reel Talent feels like the team couldn’t make a regular audition work, so they threw in animals instead of humans to make it work somehow. We can admire the effort, but this theme just doesn’t do anything for us.
Reel Talent is a 5-reel video slot with 20 fixed paylines. The slot offers players a rather unique special feature. Winning symbols are stored on the side, with a free re-spin being awarded when that happens. When three symbols are stored in total, the title’s special feature comes into play, which is three different levels of a super spin.
It’s important to showcase your talent at the audition, but it’s also important to practice with your talents. And as every good gambler knows, your most prized talent is your ability to budget properly. The coin denomination ranges from $0.005 up to $5, with the minimum bet being $0.10 and the maximum wager being $100 per spin.
On the reels, you will find a whole host of symbols and none of them are generic playing card symbols. Instead, gamblers are treated to unique artwork fitting the theme. Actual playing cards for the magician, guitars for the guitarist, torches for the firebreather and a microphone for the singer. And as you’d expect, the owner of those items, that being the rabbit, the wolf, the crocodile and the lion, respectively, all make an appearance as symbols.
Wilds are simply giant yellow letters that spell out the word Wild. They replace other symbols and have no other function.
The real meat and potatoes of Reel Talent is the collection and Superspins mechanic. On every winning combination, players receive a re-spin, and the winning symbol is stored off to the side, which can be any icon except for Wilds. Depending on which icons you collect, you receive three different levels of Superspins. Three different symbols gives a Showtime Superspin, which has only those three symbols for a single spin, Big Stage Superspin with just two different icons, and the most lucrative being the Solo Performance Superspin if you somehow collect three wins with only one symbol – which means the superspin can only draw one icon, which guarantees a massive win.
This game is a high variance offering, with an RTP of 96.03%.

"We had a blast playing this game. The feature feels quite different to most other slots, which greatly helped us to really sink our teeth into things. As we mentioned, the slot will be releasing on the 7th of November, so we hope to see you at the audition then!"
